Knit-In Weekend

Nine club members came to the Knit-In weekend on 27th and 28th April.

It was a busy and enjoyable couple of days with lots of knitting, and many tips and techniques were shared.



Plans are already being laid for another Knit-In weekend in the autumn.

Thursday, 18 April 2013

Ann Brown, knitwear designer from Posh Frocks  was our speaker for this evening.

Ann brought with her a selection of jackets and coats designed and knitted in  2 x 2ply Lambswool or 3 strands of Crepe and described the various techniques used to achieve the trims and edgings.

She then went on to demonstrate how to knit a bias ruffle for attaching to hems and cuffs. This was followed by showing how to shape knitting when doing rib fabric.

An inspirational evening, with lots of information to absorb, was thoroughly enjoyable.
